jim goldman joins us with a look at what wall street is expecting from the blackberry maker. >> thisnteresting report if only it comes at a time when smartphone competition is hot and research in motion is having trouble holding its own. the street is looking $1.27 on $3.3 billion in revenue. guidance for the first quarter should be flat, 1.22 on $3.2 billion. rimm devices shipped and new subscriptions look for 4.4 million new subs. rimm is in an unusual place right now that might not be truly appreciated by investors at large. the company did take a hit on the apple verizon speculation but rimm is doing just fine even accelerating market anticipation in the face of iphone already. >> they're kind of carving out a niche in the iphone wannabes. even in consumer, you know, kind of lower cost and more of a main stream phone. i think they're holding their own. >> smartphone growth continues solid, at least for the leaders in the sector. apple and rimm enjoy the momentum and nokia continues to do okay. motorola, palm continue to fight for scraps. overall, industry growth is very strong an

they're constantly on cellphones, blackberry come at the computer and receiving a flood of informationand communicating with their pals. is it a processing going on? that mentality is seeping through and there is so much information to be processed, so much communication, how are you going to take time to say where my? where am i going to be in 10 years and how will i get it? it is amazing how businesses operate day to day and don't have the future orientation we used to have. another part is mastering the organization's. and it has survived to this day and it is so outdated and bureaucratic and bloated that you can be left in the dust. if you are a block and wire diagram the boss and thus the boss a christmas tree that does not work any more. if you see successful companies that are flat and web organizations and networks and structured much differently and have multiple lines of authority and communication and a more and change when the environment demands it. going back two generations like mine, real-life change we like a clean line of command and know who the boss is. that does no

subscriptions, and very nice, 4.9 million, which is good news, but the shipments, the unit shipped, blackberry shipped on the quarter 10.5 million against the 1.2 million that wall street was, some were anticipating. gross margins good news. 47.3%, and 47.5% is where the street was at. let's talk about first quarter, because again, this is disappointing. the street was at $4.3 billion, and rimm is offering $4.2 billion so essentially in line, and some were hoping for acceleration, because of the product line that research in motion is dealing with here. the new range of subscribers for the company is q1 outlook is 4.9 to 2.2 million and the street was 4.8 million, and the company is seeing slippage in the gross margin as far as q1 is concerned with 41.5%, and some on the street were hoping for some type of pricing strength as far as research in motion is concerned, so that decline in growth margin is disappointing here. we will see what the company has to say on the conference call, and this is a nice rally, but in is not the news that investors were hoping for. >> all right. jim, thank you ve

they are constantly on cell phones, blackberries, at the computer.they're constantly assessing flood of information and communicating with their pals. is any processing going on? that mentality now is seeping through those generations. and there's so much information to be processed. there's so much communication that goes on. you know, how are you going to take time to stop and think and say where am i? where am i headed? where do i want to be? 10 years? how am i going to get there? it is amazing how many organizations and businesses just operate day-to-day and don't have that future orientation that we used to have. i think another part of successful leadership is mastering the organizations. you know, the oldo'n bureaucra organization that has survived, unfortunately, to this day particularly in government is so outdated, so ponderous, so bureaucratic and so bloated that you can be left in the dust. when you look at a structure and organization that is a black and wired diagram. block at the top boss, two blocks at the bottom subboss, and sub-sub
